Chapter 36: Battle and Partings

Damon continued to watch Quetsiah as she walked through the doors.

"Umm, I thought you were dead?" Damon said after a moment.

"Yes, and when Silas's witch dropped the veil; I just walked over," Quetziah said. "And call me Tessa. Quetsiah is so old fashioned."

"What are doing here?" Damon said as the other vampires in the house started to gather.

"Why don't you show me the way to your witches," Tessa said. Just then Tasha and Bonnie walked in. They both stared at Quetsiah. They could feel the immense power emanating from her.

"Who are you?" Bonnie said.

"Quetsiah but I prefer to go by Tessa. Now witches it's time we get some work done," Quetsiah said as she walked towards the library. All the vampires present were confused and followed her to the library.

Esther sat at the table trying to concentrate on the spirits but she wasn't getting any responses. She stood up just as Quetsiah walked in.

"Esther, nice to see you again. I see you haven't completed your task yet," Quetsiah said.

"Quetsiah! You are here," Esther said. "I apologise that it is taking so long and now that my husband has returned, we are having unexpected interferences."

"I saw them; hence that's why I'm here. You haven't activated the cure yet either," Quetsiah said. Esther looked down as if she were lost for words or ashamed. "I know they are your grandchildren however, it's only a drop from each child."

"I understand but we have yet to come up with a plan to kill Silas and we do not know what he is up to with my husband. We thought that by activating the cure there were probabilities of unwanted accidents and decided that we would have it ready when the time was right," Esther said.

"Well thought out but we need to prepare to for battle," Quetsiah said.

"Battle?" Elijah asked.

"What do you mean?" Klaus said. Quetsiah sat down on the arm chair and flipped through the nearby grimoire.

"Silas and Mikael are preparing for a battle. They plan to attack at sundown tomorrow," Quetsiah said. "Silas has called himself an army of hybrids more powerful than ever. There aren't that many since you all have killed many of them. However, the remaining has been spell-strengthened by his witch to double 'original' standards."

"How do you know all this?" Kol asked.

"I listened to everything they talked about before I walked over," Quetsiah said.

"Why should we trust you?" Klaus said.

"Well if you don't. You're children will end up dead and my wish to kill Silas will forever remain a wish," Quetsiah said. That did it. Klaus was furious. No one threatened his kids. He sped over to Quetsiah and held her by the neck.

"No one threatens my children," Klaus yelled in her face. However, before long, Klaus was on his knees screaming in agony and holding his head.

"Please stop!" Caroline yelled and she held Klaus. Quetsiah let go.

"That was just a warning. Try it again and I can do things you haven't even imagined," Quetsiah said. "Now what were we talking about? Ah yes, the battle is just a method to allow Mikael to kill you however, it also acts as a distraction so Silas may get a hold of your kids. I'm assuming that his witch is coming to de-shield this house."
